Ok im torn between my first love and the man im currently with my first love is around my age when we were together we were young and all we did was argue and fight but we were just right for each other same childhood problems looking for a place or a family to fit in then we created a family it was good for a while but you know that saying never talk to ur friend about your relationship well that was the case in my situation. We broke up we moved on .....kinda....now the man im with now we are 10 years apart and complete oppisites I wanna have fun like go to the movies go out to eat and he isn't into any of that he wants to stay home watch cnn and espn and nba on his days off he is a good guy but there is no communicating @ all unless we are talking about work (we work at the same place different shifts) so lately my first love has been telling me he misses me andthat we should try to work things out cuz we were so young and had no idea about what were doing years ago and now that we are more mature. I wanna say yes and be with him so much but I don't wanna break things up with the man im with now but honestly we (my current man and I) aren't really going anywhere in this relationship its just year to year till he goes back to his country to be with his family but I don't wanna be that girl known as a heart breaker or loose if you get the picture but shouldn't I do what makes me happy or just leave the past in the past.

I understand that we need to choose between present and future fulfillment, whether to stay in or choose him as the present but a poor risk in the future. You can ask yourself where will that path lead? How will you feel about taking that road just after you choose it? How will you feel the next day? In a month A year? Five years? You cannot foresee all the consequences, but in undertaking this investigation you are acknowledging that you must seek fulfillment in both present and the future. All the best mizhotshyt. And good luck!

No I don't think I can date or love two people at the same time,I will fell guilty and it's like you betrayed both the two sides.you will always feel fresh and exciting when you start to date another man and begin a brand new relationship,it's just because maybe you feel tired of you current relationship,but do not do anything until you think it through,the passion comes to you quickly,it may leave quickly too.just give yourself some time and think about it,if you really love the other man you can break up with your current BF and then began to date the other one

I am working at Loving everyone in the world. Sorry to say, there are a few that are difficult, but I am trying. Its not correct to declassify everyone in the world just so we can love ONE person. We are All One! And We are all in this together, and we better get used to it. Start Loving everyone as you Love yourself, and the world will change over night!
